2 airplanes on taxiway collide

FORT LAUDERDALE — Authorities say no one was injured when two airplanes got into a sort of fender-bender at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office says a taxiing Spirit Airlines Airbus A-320 clipped a US Airways Airbus A-320 that was parked Monday night in a remote area away from the gate.

Authorities say the left wing of the Spirit aircraft was damaged, while the US Airways aircraft was left with a gash in its tail section.

Firefighters were called to the scene but there was no fuel leak from either aircraft.

2 missing boaters believed to be dead

OVIEDO — State wildlife officials say two boaters who went missing on a Central Florida lake are likely dead.

Jason Cobb, of Osteen, and Charles Jackson, of Deltona, were reported missing Saturday after they failed to return from an early morning fishing trip on Lake Jesup.

An official with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said on Monday that the search had turned into a recovery mission.

Authorities previously said it appeared that the men had been thrown from their boat. The 15-foot boat was found undamaged. The wildlife official said that investigators “have nothing to suggest they survived this incident.”

From air, pilot sees theft at own house

LABELLE — Authorities say a Florida man flying home from North Carolina caught a man stealing a trailer while piloting his plane over his own home.

David Zehntner was flying over his home in LaBelle on Sunday when he saw a truck in his driveway. He lowered his altitude to get a closer look and saw a man attaching Zehntner’s trailer to the truck.

Zehntner followed the truck and called the Glades County Sheriff’s Office from the air. Glades deputies contacted the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, which found the truck as it headed into Charlotte County.

Gary Haines, 59, of Virginia, was arrested and charged with grand theft. He was released Monday from the Charlotte County Jail on $2,500 bond. It’s not clear whether he’s retained an attorney.
